Hey everyone,

Anyone else just started ovulation or about to start in the next week. Let's start a chat and keep ourselves busy as we head through ovulation and the dreaded 2WW.

Little about me this is my 2 cycle at TTC Baby no.1 I'm about to start ovulation on fri or sat, so going to make the most of this week. I've ordered some IC ovulation sticks hopefully will arrive in next couple days and I will give them a try out. What is everyone else doing to prepare themselves for ovulation???

@Gab101 thanks I was really hoping this month would be it. So glad those two lines came up finally 😂 I literally have no symptoms not even sore boobs which I would in AF was tomorrow. I had symptoms on and around ovulation but since about 8dpo nothing. I did feel a little nauseous this morning after doing my test but that went away problem just nerves. I told my DH this morning and did a referral for Epsom hospital so will just wait now. Will do my digital tomorrow I think haha 😂

@Tiff94 I swear I'm less symptomatic now than I was during ovulation I only have sore boobs 😂 so excited that you are pregnant too. I was so upset when your test hadn't shown a line yet! Was rooting for you and I am for all you other angels 💕

Hi all
I need help 🙈 I have 2 days to go until I'm due my period. I have been TTC #1 since November with no luck yet.

I've had a few funny symptoms so I did 2 tests yesterday one was faintly positive and one was negative. I'm so confused. I know I need to wait a few more days at least to test again to get a true reading but it's so HARD!

Someone please give me the strength to not test again today 😂

@Gab101 that FRER is very promising. No spotting for me so far. I literally don't feel anything haha 😂

lastbany · 23/07/2020 11:36

@Tiff94 I think I can see a very very light line even on the cheap one 😍🤷‍♀️👶🏼

Gab101 · 23/07/2020 11:27

Also - anyone had any spotting? I don't even know if I could call what I've had spotting ... it's just been a slight dark tinge in my CM.

Gab101 · 23/07/2020 11:25

EXCUSE MY GROSS NAILS. I work too much is my excuse 😂

Gab101 · 23/07/2020 11:24

This is my test tonight! Slightly darker FRER tonight than they have been which is great news due to my low hcg in my blood

Also if anyone wants to try I just did ovulation stick as they also detect pregnancy hormones I've read( can't guarantee pregnancy) but you can see the on the sticks as well I just did one and it came up dark while the ic hcg only faintly is there just haha 😂 so maybe give them a try as the LH sticks are more sensitive

[quote Tiff94]@ladylouez so have you ovulated yet or are you still trying to figure that out. ? Most of us here I think only just started opks this month to. I used the cheap ones from amazon and I never saw my peak but I knew when I ovulated. Which was back two week ago. [/quote]
No, I'm very new to this so still trying to figure out when I ovulate. I have irregular periods so I've been going back and forth the docs for a while. Long story short, she kept saying that there was nothing wrong with me but I kept saying there was (otherwise my cycles wouldn't be so unreliable). Been through countless blood tests and the last two haven't picked up what they should have in terms of ovulation. I was referred to a gynecologist back in January and should hear about an appointment August time. So I've tried to start looking for signs myself as lockdown has not helped with it playing on my mind 😞

Thanks ladies @Sexnotgender & @Tiff94 I think I'd go for FRER or CB! Xx

@beckyBP I'd get either FRER or CB all the cheapies came back negative even when I got positive with FRER.

[quote beckyBP]@Tiff94 AF due tomorrow for me. Will run out and get some tests tomorrow if it doesn't arrive 🤞🏽 what tests do you ladies recommend? Z[/quote]
I’m using wondfo cheapies from amazon.

Sexnotgender · 23/07/2020 10:31

If my DH knew how crazy I was I’m pretty sure he wouldn’t want another baby with me😂

I’m only 6/7 dpo but obviously tested earlier. BFN. Why, why do we do this?

beckyBP · 23/07/2020 09:53

@Tiff94 AF due tomorrow for me. Will run out and get some tests tomorrow if it doesn't arrive 🤞🏽 what tests do you ladies recommend? Z

Gab101 · 23/07/2020 09:30

@Tiff94 yes good idea. No point worrying myself. If it's meant to be it will be! I wonder if I can not take any tests until Sunday.... that would be amazing effort from me but I doubt it 😂

@Gab101 I recon wait a few more days to test let the levels go up I will probably use my other CB tomorrow then digital on Sat or sun. But will do a few ic in between haha see if any lines come up.

Lady's who are still waiting how many days left til your testing/waiting for AF can't wait to see the BFP all over this group

Gab101 · 23/07/2020 09:24

@lastbany your right at least I'm not negative!!

Gab101 · 23/07/2020 09:24

I took a CB digital yesterday morning and tonight and still nothing but you have to be higher than 15 hcg to get a positive on that so maybe tomorrow. Fingers crossed I'm just being paranoid!! Sooo excited for ya all and the girls whose BFP are on route!!

@Gab101 thanks we're baby buddies haha 😂 no clue with bloods I've just called my hospital to book blood test so no clue. My CB are still very faint so we probably just so early on most people (that aren't ttc) only find out after there AF due. We tested before so it will be low I read it double every 48/72 hours so that could be why so low

lastbany · 23/07/2020 09:04

@Gab101 not until further along I've never heard of blood tests before preg test so I'm no good on this 😩 but of it has to be above 5 and your 8 I would say good sign!!

Gab101 · 23/07/2020 09:00

@Tiff94 just caught up on the chat CONGRATS ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Gab101 · 23/07/2020 08:57

Guys I've sent myself mad! Got a blood test and my levels are only 8. For a pregnancy they should range between 5-50 in the first 3 weeks, so I'm really low but I'm also really early as in 10/11DPO. I have taken 3 CB digitalis now and no pregnant. And a negative cheapie although still positive FRER but not getting darker (since yesterday lol) anyone else know much about blood work?
